Pak Nam Pho railway station is a railway station in the Pak Nam Pho Sub-district, Nakhon Sawan City, Nakhon Sawan. It is 250.559 km from Bangkok railway station and is a class 1 railway station. It is on the Northern Line of the State Railway of Thailand. The station opened on 31 October 1905 as part of the Northern Line extension from Lopburi to Pak Nam Pho. The line continued to Phitsanulok in 1908. Originally, this was the railway station for Nakhon Sawan City as passengers would alight here and cross the Chao Phraya River to reach the city, however its main purpose was removed as the new railway station built at Nong Pling replaced its role. Today, the station acts as a rail yard, a railway maintenance centre, and a junction for an occasionally-used freight line to Kamnansong Rice Mill.
